Far Wing Right -- Attempt to Start Another Scandal - The Rescue of Bowe Bergdahl

Be aware of this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/288812731285526/

From reading the threads, this group is made up of a group of FAR RIGHT WING folks doing their mighty best to blame President Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel for making a decision to rescue Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in Afghanistan.

These folks are alleging Sgt. Bergdahl deserted his post and this action led to the deaths of these six soldiers. Upon reading the threads in this "group" it turns out that two of these soldiers were injured and died BEFORE the date this "Group" accused Sgt. Bergdahl of "deserting".

No charge of "deserting" has been verified by anyone in the U.S. Army Chain of Command including the President --- as Commander in Chief or the Secretary of Defense -- who coordinated Sgt. Bergdahl rescue.

This "group" as they managed to get a bit of Media attention on CNN based on a "Reporter Jake Tapper" who used a UNVERIFIED TWEET initially as a news story resource. Incredible right?

This is an blatant attempt by the far right wing to change the narrative from the rescue of this Solider and Prisoner of War -- into something else.
